A resolution commemorating June 11, 2025, as "World Franchise Day".

This is a non-binding Senate resolution commemorating June 11, 2025, as “World Franchise Day.” The measure acknowledges the World Franchise Council, which brings together national franchise associations, and highlights franchising as a longstanding and influential business model in the United States. It describes franchising as a driver of entrepreneurship, job creation, and workforce skills, and it provides historical note about the origins and spread of franchising, along with current industry reach and demographics (including minority and veteran ownership). The resolution is ceremonial in nature and does not create new policy, funding, or regulatory requirements; it simply recognizes the day and the role of franchising in the economy. As a symbolic action, the resolution aims to raise awareness of the franchise model and its contributions to economic opportunity. It may indirectly influence policymakers, business stakeholders, and the public to consider franchising as a pathway for entrepreneurship and economic growth, but it does not enact or fund any programs.
